40 in 140 out.......
« on: October 20, 2009, 05:53:04 PM »
well if you hunted the north counties of the east side you know how swell the weather was. I hiked in on friday morning and after 5 hours was able to set up my camp. I call it camp but really it was a megalight, ground pad and a bag. I have hunted the same area for a couple years now and to total all the hunters I ave seen in 3 years is exactly 3.....so I can't begin to elaborate on my locale. saturday moring brought weather that would be crappy i you were a goose. seldom could I use the binos and tripod I humped up this wretched hill. I did manage to all but step on a bunch of deer.....all women and childeren though. after a tough day I made camp and enjoied a yummy dinner of sweet and sour pork via mtn house....mmm. if you have never slept under a tarp in a driving rain storm, you should try it....lol. I stayed just warm enough to sleep well and then it happend.....my phone went off. what the? I forgot my camera so I grabbed my phone to snap a pic, and would you guess it.....work sends me a message to be in polson montana at 7am monday. not good when you are 8 miles from your truck and 500 miles from polson! I woke sunday to a glorious morning......of course. I packed my gear and dumped all but enough water to get off the mountain on. I was far from quiet, but deer were everywhere. I guess I was far enough in to get to ones pushed by the previous days hunts. then the fog comes......great. as I am clanking down my "trail" I see a deer 50 feet to my right......a 4x4 mulie. I look him up down and sideways. he is weak in the fronts, but still plenty good for the taking. one big bang later he is flat. I bone him out in record time, and pull the skull cap. load him up and go to toss on my pack. holy crap I am getting old and out of shape! long story short.....here he is

Great buck, and a good story to go with it.  Congrats.

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.
